[QUOTE="TMillini, post: 1318534, member: 634637"] What do you think about Matta for Gentry? In any other scenario of a big name coach moving to a assistant to head coach position it would be unrealistic but... 1) Matta is an Illinois guy convincing him to come back to his home state would not be that hard of a sell. 2) Matta is a BIG 10 coach who would only bring that much more experience and recruiting ability to lock down the Midwest for an already talented staff. A sneaky move that no one would see coming 3) Matta needs to worry about his health but although that was a problem, the guy was not ready to be finished coaching by a long shot. This move would give him not only the chance to become healthy again but also it could be his way of getting his next big gig if the team were to perform well instead of taking a few years off then working up the latter again. 4) Money should not be an issue because he will be receiving money from Ohio State for the next three years, so the check from us would only be a bonus and in 3 years or 4 years i would love to see that Underwood and his staff has this good enough that not only the players have an opportunity to succeed but the coaches as well for example Alabama in football. Just an idea though [/QUOTE]
